- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Heathgates
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heathgates use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Heathgates, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Heathgates
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heathgates. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Heathgates

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
